Another great chapter! 

BTW, all of these lessons should go in v.1.1 of the manual.

PVthudson. Yes, all AT scenarios work with Gold also. But they do not automaticly incorporate all of the gold rules. The hardcoded changes are automaticly incorporated, but not scenario specific settings.

Looks nice Vic

pvthudson01: That could certainly happen eventually. Although it seems quite unlikely since it seems there is maybe a new scenario per week since it came out. In that you would only have the ca 200 scenarios created so far to play. Let me know when you have played them all ´:)


Will your mods work with Gold?

Re armored assault gun: Learned something. I thought the AG was basically a mobile infantry gun used to increase the combat power of infantry assaulting other infantry, especially those well entrenched. Didn't realize it was an anti-tank unit. How does the Assault Gun differ from the Tank Destroyer?

Edit: After further research these AGs were indeed use to kill tanks as well as blast enemy fortifications. The Soviet SU-152 could literally blow the turret off a Tiger tank.

Please continue with AA guns in the next lesson as I think I still didn't find the best way to secure my forces against air threat with them. ;)
I'm with you since People's Tactics and I love it!

Hi Guys,

Could we have a tutorial on how to reinforce staff/units with minimal penalties (readiness/experience etc)? Is it better to build new units and merge old ones OR reinforce??

Cheers

Thanks!
Another missed unit is cavalry.
Or perhaps a lesson about types of terrain and locations?

I want to keep the first 10 lessons focussed on troop types....

I might do a second 10 lesson course after that :) to discuss different subjects.

Great stuff.  Thanks.  Did the lessons ever get bundled into a booklet?
